A different look at planet earth. Something for the weekend.

We try to do something a little different on a Friday, so today we showcase a few movies showing the diversity of planet earth and how we as humans interact with it. These films aren’t your run-of-the-mill documentaries, but are thought provoking visual and sound journeys giving an alternative look at humans and our home.

RoboBee X-Wing, Minute Solar Powered robot insect

Tiny robot was created by the Harvard Microrobotics Laboratory in the USA – an amazing bit of microengineering. Carbon fiber and polyester make the minute wings and super tiny photovoltaic cells to power it. The solar cells generate about five volts of electricity, but that is boosted to 200 volts which is needed for liftoff by a tiny transformer.

Near Future Solar Innovation

Zeitgeist solar isn’t new materials like the mythical Graphene. It’s building on what we already have. A majority of solar production in the US, for example, is still synthesised through crystalline silicon panels – first grabbing sunlight in the 1950s. New tech in solar seems to be complimentary or facilitating what is in place already rather than ground breaking, future…
